Technical Abstract

According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method may include receiving, at a first interface element of a user interface, a first user input regarding a degree of stereoscopic depth rendered in a stereoscopic image. The method may also include adjusting the stereoscopic depth based on the first user input. Additionally, the method may include receiving, at a second interface element of the user interface, a second user input regarding adjustment of a z-plane position of the stereoscopic image and adjusting the z-plane position based on the second user input. The method may further include generating the stereoscopic image based on the adjustment of the stereoscopic depth and the adjustment of the z-plan position.
